2. Barkov is going to get tons of quality ice time this year. The options for centers in Florida are Gomez (LOL), Matthias (44% faceoffs), Upshall (oh my God) and Barkov. What he does with it is a different story.

Sounds like a coin flip to me goodnews. But I personally lean towards Barkov. I just feel like he will get more opportunity to succeed. Of course he could bite the ice and get benched but how freakin bad do you have to be for that to happen in FLA????

Dineen could and would be more likely to give Barkov more rope and more chances to succeed, Noel on the other hand seems to be a bit like Julien, younger players don't get much rope and when they screw up ice time is limited or they are stapled to the bench.

I'm in a hockey pool and I have to pick between Barkov and Scheifele. According to a site I found, Barkov is on the second line with Huberdeau and Boyes. Scheifele is on the second line with Kane and Setoguchi. According to this site both will also see PP time. Does this seem right to you guys? Do you think they will play the whole season on these lines?
